Shipments cannot be made on statutory Canadian holidays due to post office closures and, in these scenarios, will be posted as quickly as possible on the next business day.

PACKAGING

Work is shipped securely using corrugated cardboard boxes, recycled fills such as kraft paper and air pillows (where necessary to provide additional cushioning for larger or very fragile pieces).

If you do not wish for your order invoice to be included in the shipment (eg. gifts) please let us know in the comments at checkout or by email.

DELIVERY AND INSURANCE

The goods ordered on this site travel at the buyer's risk. Due to the fragile nature of handmade ceramics, fine art is not eligible for the default insurance provided by Canada Post.

All pieces are professionally packaged to withstand stressful travel conditions and breakage is a very uncommon scenario.

If your package has arrived damaged, please contact us as soon as possible with your name and order information. We will do our utmost to ensure your satisfaction which may include a store credit or replacement in situations where a similar piece can be recreated.
